Celebrate 816 Day at J. Rieger & Co.—A True Kansas City Party!

We’re throwing an all-day bash in honor of Kansas City’s favorite holiday—816 Day! Join us Saturday, August 16th, as we celebrate everything we love about our hometown right here at J. Rieger & Co.

Start your day with a run club, then stick around for live music in Electric Park on the Do816 stage, $8.16 drink specials, and a vibrant makers market curated by Cherry Pit Collective. Bring the whole family—our Kids’ Corner will feature story time from The Rabbit Hole, interactive slime by Rainbow Slime Co., and a special visit from the Kansas City Zoo. Plus, CityDog will be on-site helping your four-legged friends get in on the fun with adorable DIY pup crafts.

Explore whiskey tasting stations, get a custom bottle engraving, or go bold with stick and poke tattoos from EFG Art. Whether you’re sipping, shopping, or soaking up the KC pride, there’s something for everyone at this unforgettable 816 Day celebration.
